Seamed Enamel Bandwidth
A print/graphic AI art style prompt drawing on Art Nouveau and Graphic Design. Copy the prompt below into any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end. The prompt only describes the look.
The blend
The prompt combines 3 ingredients and gives each one a job:
- Jiří Kolář — Kolář's intercollage creates interwoven strips of two surfaces through razor-cut seams and offset reassembly.
- Eugène Grasset — Grasset's cloisonné contouring produces flat enamel-like fills through thick unbroken black outlines.
- 1980s Doordarshan station ident cards — The Doordarshan ident infuses stepped banded gradients and hard-edged colour-bar blocks with chroma smear at every edge.
The fusion manifests as visible cut seams, flat contour-held fills against banded analog gradients, and low-key values with one saturated note, transforming any subject through strip-woven layering.
On 4 models
The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
Jiří Kolář + Eugène Grasset + 1980s Doordarshan station ident cards, where Kolář's intercollage creates interwoven strips of two surfaces through razor-cut seams and offset reassembly, Grasset's cloisonné contouring produces flat enamel-like fills through thick unbroken black outlines, and the Doordarshan ident infuses stepped banded gradients and hard-edged colour-bar blocks with chroma smear at every edge. The fusion manifests as visible cut seams, flat contour-held fills against banded analog gradients, and low-key values with one saturated note, transforming any subject through strip-woven layering.

Model-neutral
The same look with artist names and copyrighted references removed — for models that refuse them.
Central European strip-weave intercollage + Art Nouveau cloisonné-style contour illustration + 1980s Indian state-broadcast station ident and test-card graphics, where interwoven strips of two surfaces are joined through razor-cut seams and offset reassembly, thick unbroken black outlines produce flat enamel-like fills, and stepped banded gradients and hard-edged colour-bar blocks carry chroma smear at every edge. The fusion manifests as visible cut seams, flat contour-held fills against banded analog gradients, and low-key values with one saturated note, transforming any subject through strip-woven layering.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Images are sliced into narrow strips and woven back together, leaving crisp razor seams and slight offsets. Flat colour fills sit inside thick, unbroken black contours like enamel in metal cells. Gradients break into visible stepped bands, and hard-edged colour blocks smear sideways at their borders. Values stay low-key and dark, with a single saturated note punching through the shadow.

Using it
- Paste the prompt, then add your subject after it — for example …, a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk.
- The original names artists. Some hosted models refuse that or quietly render around it — on those, use the model-neutral version, which describes the same handling without the names.
- The effect-only version drops the recipe altogether and describes only what the style does to a surface. Use it to mix this look into another style, or when you want nothing traceable to a source.
- Every sample here was rendered against the same short subject — Quiet streets whisper / Her footsteps echo softly / Sunlight paints her path — so it shows the style, not a lucky subject.
